Product Notes
According to Dunlop’s Website, the Dunlop Aerogel 4D Elite is used by Gregory Gaultier of France.
However, that may not be exactly true. There are comments floating around the internet, including here and here, that indicate Gaultier may actually be playing the Dunlop ICE Elite, which was available a few years ago.
This picture of Gaultier from SquashSite does in fact show him playing with the Aerogel 4D Elite…
…but it’s possible he’s using an older racket and it’s just been given an Aerogel 4D Elite paint job. This does happen sometimes — Ramy Ashour is another example — when players become so accustomed to a particular racket that they just simply don’t want to change when their sponsor rolls over to their new line of rackets.
In any case, here’s Gregory using his racket against Peter Barker in the Case Swedish Open:

Pierre –
Have you ever gotten a chance to weight this racquet when it is strung and gripped? I’m curious about the real weight.

racquet is very popular with doubles crowd at club, i use it as well, great stringing pattern for doubles and stiff, string as usual needs to be replaced, i am on to my second elite, very durable and solid.
